WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – With five days until the election, the presidential candidates are campaigning in the southwest.
It continues to be a fierce fight to win over voters.
In the final sprint to Election Day the candidates are crisscrossing the country making a pitch to voters in those southwestern swing states.
“I am putting it all on the field, and it’s going to be a very tight race,” said Harris.
Vice President Kamala Harris is taking her campaign to Arizona and Nevada Thursday.
Former President Donald Trump is also rallying in Nevada Thursday night after visiting New Mexico earlier in the day.
Both candidates are pushing people to the polls and Trump is making a specific appeal to women.
I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not. I’m going to protect them,” said Trump.
VP Harris slammed that promise.
It’s actually very offensive to women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority,” said Harris
She argues the former president’s actions on abortion prove he isn’t an ally for women.
“He has actually created a situation in American where now one in three women lives in a Trump-abortion banned state,” said Harris.
She warns if he’s re-elected, “He is not going to be fighting for women’s reproductive rights. He does not prioritize the freedom of women.
The former president says he’ll improve life all Americans and the Trump team insists a President Harris would not.
“She has no plan to make your life better. That’s why she’s spending all this time. Talking about Donald Trump,” said Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio.).
In addition to visiting New Mexico former President Trump is planning to stop in Virginia this week, making a play for two reliably blue states that Republicans haven’t won in decades.
